Nicks

[ramses II.]

What does your nick mean?
I'll explain you mine:

Sethos I. (or Seti I.), (I use this nick in other forums, but when I joined Apolyton, another guy had taken it)
Throne name Men-maat-re, Forever is the justice of Re. 1291-1278 BC ,son of Ramesses I., father of

Ramses II /english Ramesses II., Throne name User-maat-re Setep-en-re, Powerful is the justice of Re, Chosen by Re, 1279-1212 BC (67 years!)
Ramesses II. was followed by his 13th son, Merenptah

Both pharaos from the XIX. Dynasty. See [http://touregypt.net/19dyn03.htm], for example

I think chosing a pharao's name from the dawns of civilization is a good way to show his respect to that civ - and to all civs in general.

Tell me a little bit about your nick.

Ramses, are you good at Egiptology? Umm I love that.

Personally I find Ehnaton the most interesting, though, with his elder daughter being quite beautiful, as the rumors say.

Scouse Gits are ...

... full of it!

Scouse: of or pertaining to Liverpool and that part of the UK
Git: disreputable person

Our multiplicity: when we first registered we misunderstood the ACS regulations about e-mail names and thought that SG(2)'s would be unacceptable so we used my work e-mail and both used the same ACS account - some time later my brat daughter SG{3} joined the club ""

OK? SG[1]

I suppose my nick is clear...

I remember there was a long thread with nicks descriptions in the past already.

[Mercator]

There have been many. Not only in this forum, also at the Apolyton/Community and Off-Topic forums...

My nickname has to do with Civ2 maps and a famous cartographer...

(Is the "." used anywhere else than in Germany for indicating ordinal numbers?)

[DarkCloud]

This belongs in the OT or Commuynity Forums-

However
-

Cloud- my dog's name
Dark- added to make this name seem more 'ferocious' and dangerous.

First used on BBSes in 1996 or 1997,

Mercator -- as i understand it the decimal comma and full point separator are in general use all over (Western) Europe hence1.000.000,123 - the decimal point and commanseparator are of course used in the UK and US ...

Scouses were sober two minutes later in another thread:

SG[1] - sober and speaking for SG(2) - he hopes

And so I wouldn't take them very seriously

In Czechia we write 1 000 000,123 (the spaces may be omitted)

[Mercator]

But I was referring to the . in "ramses II." That dot indicates that it's "second" not "two". Is the dot in that meaning used anywhere else?

[Marquis de Sodaq]

Why a marquis? It's not a far cry from my real name.
Sodaq is a misspelling of where I grew up.

[Scouse Gits]

Mercator - I have never before heard of this usage ...

Mercator, whenever I see you posting I think Saint Marcus has striked again.
